Owner's Description

F-102, the scarcer of the two varieties of this date. Basically determined by the obverse with the shield point over the tip of the upper serif of the 1, and the pendant in Liberty's skirt over the top left corner of the 5. It doesn't seem possible but there are eight coins (four PCGS, four NGC) graded MS-68 of this date with another seven right behind at MS-67. Given so many coins graded at these levels, several of them have to be close to perfect. I know this one is. A super gem with even metallic toning and nary a blemish to distract the eye. The date seems more available than its R-4+ rating would suggest. Bought from a Heritage auction, June, 2006, lot 1043.
